band blockage

Have anyone had to go back to the doctor becauseof a banded blockage. Why and What did you eat, How did you know something was wrong?

What do you mean by "banded blockage"? There are lots of situations that might make it necessary to go back to the doctor, and by "blockage" I guess you mean a difficulty with foods going through. If that were to happen, believe me, you'd know it. Nothing would go down, not even liquids. That's very serious because of the risk of dehydration.

Or are you talking about something else? I'm confused. :eek:

Yes, I have heard of someone having to go to the doc and have an offending piece of something that wouldn't go through retrieved from their pouch. I don't recall for sure, but I think it was a piece of meat.

This was a friend of someone in the SD support group.

So, it IS possible to have something stuck that needs to be removed by a doc, and it IS possible for the doc to get it removed.

It's also possible that an unfill may create enough space for the thing to pass.

Hope this helps!
